Unit 6 Measurement 1. Angle Measures and Circles Classify and Measure Angles Math is part of our everyday world in everything from balancing checkbooks, to shopping, to measuring a room for new carpet. Math is also a key part of many of the games we play. For instance, the game of pool is nothing but a game of angles. Knowing the correct angle needed to hit the ball is essential to winning a game of pool. One of the best skills you can have if you are a pool player is being able to identify the angle and angle measure needed to sink a shot. Objectives Identify angles by their measure. Classify pairs of angles. Find the measure of an angle. Vocabulary acute angle an angle that measures more than 0 but less than 90 adjacent angles two angles that have a common vertex and side but are not overlapping complementary angles two angles whose sum is 90 obtuse angle an angle that measures more than 90 but less than 180 right angle an angle that measures exactly 90 straight angle an angle that measures exactly 180 supplementary angles two angles whose sum is 180 vertex the point where two line segments, lines, or rays meet to form an angle vertical angles angles that are opposite from one another at the intersection of two lines; vertical angles are congruent Section 1 5
Measurement Unit 6 Classifying Angles Angles are a part of our everyday life. Just by looking around the room you are in, you should be able to see hundreds of angles! Each angle or pair of angles has a name and set of properties to define it. You may remember the terms acute angle, right angle, obtuse angle, and straight angle. An acute angle is an angle that measures more than 0 but less than 90. A right angle measures exactly 90, while an obtuse angle measures more than 90 but less than 180. A straight angle, or straight line, measures exactly 180. You can easily classify an angle as acute, right, obtuse, or straight just by looking at it. If you remember that a right angle is like a corner on a piece of paper and a straight angle is a straight line, you can tell what type of angle you have without measuring it. If the angle is smaller than the corner of a piece of paper, you have an acute angle. If it is larger than the corner of a piece of paper but smaller than a line, then you have an obtuse angle. Let s look at how to classify pairs of angles. Adjacent angles are two angles that share a common vertex, point, and side. They are next to one another without overlapping. Two types of angles that are often adjacent are complementary angles and supplementary angles. Complementary angles are two angles whose sum is 90. The two angles can either be adjacent angles or separate angles. The following graphic shows two adjacent, complementary angles. Complementary angles: Supplementary angles are two angles whose sum is 180 ; the angles can either be separate or adjacent. The following graphic shows two adjacent, supplementary angles. Supplementary angles: Angles are also created when lines intersect. When the two lines intersected, they created four angles. The four angles all share a common vertex, where the lines intersect. Some of the angles can also be described as being adjacent. Angle 1 is adjacent to both angle 4 and angle 2. Angle 2 is adjacent to angle 1 and angle 3. Angle 3 is adjacent to angles 2 and 4. Finally, angle 4 is adjacent to angles 3 and 1. 6 Section 1
Unit 6 Measurement Within these four angles, there are 2 sets of vertical angles. Vertical angles are angles that are opposite one another but share a vertex. Angles 1 and 3 are vertical angles, because they have the same vertex and are opposite one another. The other set of vertical angles are angles 2 and 4. Again, they have the same vertex and are opposite one another. Vertical angles are easily identifiable, because they are found where lines intersect. Look at the following picture. Three lines intersect at one point. The newly created angles are labeled for you. Solution: There are four sets of vertical angles: 1 and 3 2 and 4 5 and 7 6 and 8 Example: Let s look at more sets of vertical angles. See if you can identify them before reading the answers. Example: Solution: There are 6 sets of vertical angles: 1 and 4 2 and 3 5 and 8 6 and 7 9 and 12 10 and 11 Measurements of Angles Now that you know how to classify angles and pairs of angles, we can look into how to find the exact measure of an angle. Remember that complementary angles have a sum of 90, and supplementary angles have a measure of 180. Look at the following examples to see how to find the measure of the angle. Section 1 7
Measurement Unit 6 Example: x + 39 = 180 Supplementary angles sum to 180. Subtract 39 from x + 39-39 = 180-39 both sides. Complete the x = 141 subtractions. Solution: The first thing you need to determine is if the pair of angles are complementary or supplementary. The angles are complementary. We can tell this because there is a right angle symbol. We now know that the two angles have a sum of 90. We also know that one of the angles measures x, while the other angle measures 72. We have enough information to set up an equation to find the value of x. x + 72 = 90 Complementary angles sum to 90. Subtract 72 from x + 72-72 = 90-72 both sides. Complete the x = 18 subtractions. The second angle in the complementary pair of angles measures 18. Example: Solution: This time we have a pair of supplementary angles, so we need to set the equation equal to 180. Let s move on to vertical angles. You know that vertical angles are angles that are opposite one another and share a vertex. Vertical angles are also congruent, or equal to one another. This means once you know the measure of one, you automatically know the measure of the other. Example: 1 = 82 What are the measures of the other angles? Solution: 1 is a vertical angle with 3. Therefore, we now know that 3 equals 82. We can easily find angles 2 and 4. We know that they are also a set of vertical angles. This means that all we have to do is find the measure of one angle, and we ll know the measure of the other. If we look closely at the image, we see that angle 1 and angle 2 are supplementary, because they form a straight angle. Since supplementary angles equal 180, angle 1 equals 82, and angle 2 equals x, you can now set up an equation. 8 Section 1
Unit 6 Measurement x + 82 = 180 x + 82-82 = 180-82 x = 98 Supplementary angles sum to 180. Subtract 82 from both sides. Complete the subtractions. x + 135 = 180 x + 135-135 = 180-135 x = 45 Supplementary angles sum to 180. Subtract 135 from both sides. Complete the subtractions. Angle 2 measures 98. That means angle 4 also equals 98. Example: 2 = 135 8 = 160 11 = 65 What are the measures of the other angles? Solution: The easiest way to solve this problem is to use one point of intersection at a time. Let s begin with the intersection that creates angles 1, 2, 3, and 4. So far, we know that 2 = 135. We also know that angles 2 and 3 are vertical angles, which means that they are equal. Finally, we can see that angles 1 and 2 are supplementary. That means they have a sum of 180. We now know that angle 1 equals 45. Since angle 1 and angle 4 are vertical angles, we can determine that angle 4 is also equal to 45. Let s move to the intersection that creates angles 5, 6, 7, and 8. You were told that 8 = 160. That means angle 5 also equals 160, because 8 and 5 are vertical angles. You can see that angles 5 and 6 are supplementary angles, so you know their sum is equal to 180. x + 160 = 180 x + 160-160 = 180-160 x = 20 Supplementary angles sum to 180. Subtract 160 from both sides. Complete the subtractions. If angle 6 equals 20, then angle 7 also equals 20. Finally, let s look at the intersection that creates angles 9, 10, 11, and 12. You know that angle 11 equals 65, so that means angle 9 also equals 65. Angles 9 and 10 are supplementary to one another. x + 65 = 180 Supplementary angles sum to 180. Subtract 65 from x + 65-65 = 180-65 both sides. Complete the x = 115 subtractions. Angle 10 measures 115, as well as angle 12. Section 1 9

Measurement Unit 6 Perpendicular and Parallel Lines, Part 1 Pictured is the Hearst Tower in New York. The tower earned the 2006 Emporis Skyscraper Award for the best skyscraper in the world completed that year. It was also the first green building in New York. Take a closer look at the triangular framing design on the outside of the building. Can you identify the different types of angles that are created? Can you also identify the different types of lines that exist? Objectives Identify lines as parallel, intersecting, or perpendicular. Identify a transversal and the angles it creates. Find the measure of angles created by a transversal. Vocabulary alternate exterior angles two outside angles that lie on different sides of a transversal alternate interior angles two inside angles that lie on different sides of a transversal corresponding angles two angles in the same position on different lines exterior angles outside angles interior angles inside angles intersecting lines lines that share one point parallel lines lines that never cross one another and are the same distance apart at all times perpendicular lines lines that intersect and create right angles transversals lines that intersect two or more lines to create angles Classifying Lines Every set of lines can be classified as parallel, perpendicular, or intersecting. They are often easy to tell apart, just by looking at them. distance apart. Intersecting lines are lines that cross one another at one point. Finally, perpendicular lines are lines that cross one another and create four right angles at the point of intersection. Parallel lines are two lines that never intersect. They are also always the same 12 Section 1
Unit 6 Measurement Sometimes, another line will cross a set of lines in a different direction. This individual line is called a transversal. A transversal is a line that crosses two or more lines and creates angles. Take a look at some examples of transversals. The transversals are the red lines in each picture. Notice that the transversal can cut horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The transversal also creates two sets of angles known as alternate exterior angles. Alternate exterior angles are angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal, opposite line, and on the outside of the lines. The last two sets of angles created by the transversal are alternate interior angles. Alternate interior angles are angles that are on the opposite sides of the transversal, opposite line, and are on the inside of the lines. When a transversal cuts across a set of two lines, it creates eight angles, four angles per intersection. The angles created on the two lines have a relationship with one another. One type of angle that is created is called corresponding angles. Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same position but on different lines. There are four sets of corresponding angles. When a transversal cuts across a set of parallel lines, the angles that are created have a special relationship. Corresponding angles, alternate interior angles, and alternate exterior angles are all congruent within their own pairs. Key point! The sets of angles only become congruent when a transversal cuts across a set of parallel lines! Section 1 13
